Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here for our study on resource development in northern Canada.
The representatives from PDAC were discussing some of our northern mapping programs; GEM would be the largest one. You said you support continuing this from the five years to, if I remember, the full 10-year program that was envisioned. At this point, having seen it a few years in, what would your recommendations be as far as changing, improving, or modifying the program as we go forward?
Would you argue for more emphasis on certain aspects, be it technological or geographical? Would you include more information that would not be as traditional in geological surveys, perhaps GEOSAT? What would be your recommendations on how it should be modified and improved as we continue our geological mapping?
